It's for a cosplay a friend of mine is doing, apparently? I would say it looks [I]kind of[/I] like old-fashioned formal military wear. (on the guy) [t]http://25.media.tumblr.com/0ce70a9e7986f018d5a76839b8ae242b/tumblr_mzopgmHRo51s1xeu8o3_1280.png[/t]
Looks like a tunic to me.
It looks kinda like a tailored peacoat. I doubt you'll find one that's as form fitting, but you could probably sew the flat collar on a peacoat to look like the one in the pic.

it appears to be a late 19th century frock coat with major alterations to the mid region as to accentuate the hips while frock coats are pretty easy to find online from military/antique cosplay sites (the ones people go to for hyper-authenticity) they are usually expensive as well for anything of high quality; you could get the same effect with a thinner peacoat, (though real ones are incredibly thick) as these are a bit easier to find you can use a simple belt with coat-hanger wires painted black, under the coat, in order to accentuate the hips; a girdle or corset will also help [editline]3rd February 2014[/editline] something like this [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Dandys_1830.jpg[/IMG] in a black color, with black leggings, and a simple military sash though i will say your friend will be virtually unrecognizable because of 1. the small fan base that has actually seen "dont hug me i'm scared" 2. the deviant-art-esque fan art that has taken massive creative liberties with the characters unless that was simply the only reference and he's not dressing as that specific character
